Remove contents from box, verify if all parts listed are present and free from damage. Carefully read and understand all instructions before attempting installation. Failure to identify damage before installation could lead to a rejection of any claim. 1

2 2. Locate, on both rocker panel sides, black rubber plugs and remove them, see FIGURE 7. Install M8 U-nut clips (Item 8) as shown in FIGURE 7. Take the mounting brackets and install the brackets loosely to the corresponding mount locations, see FIGURE 8. Brackets used for the passenger side are (1) Bracket C (Item 4), (1) Bracket D (Item 5) and (1) Bracket B (Item 3). Driver side will use brackets (1) Bracket B and (2) Bracket A (Item 2). Installation procedure for driver side is same as passenger side. Do not fully tighten at this time. Note: On 1500 Crew Cab models, front positions will have a welded nut on pinch weld and must refer to FIGURE 9 for bracket installation. For Diesel equipped models, the D.E.F tank must be removed prior to installing the front brackets on the passenger side. For D.E.F tank removal instructions, please refer to page 5. Note: Bracket location is critical. 3. Insert square head bolts as shown (2 per slot, 4 per board). SEE FIGURES 2 AND 3. NOTE: For lighted boards, route wiring harness prior to attaching the board to the brackets (refer to Step 5). SEE FIGURES 2 AND 3. Run the longer wire harness on the passenger side. 4. For Sure-Grip Running Boards, slide Sure Grip Gap strip as shown. Set lights (optional) in appropriate location. Attach to Sure-Grip Running Board as shown. SEE FIGURE 2. Drill hole through plastic strip and run wires as shown. SEE FIGURE Attach board to brackets as shown. Make sure board and brackets are properly aligned and tighten fasteners. Recommended torque values are 10 FT.LBS. for M8 square head fasteners and 18 FT.LBS. for M8 hex head bolt. SEE FIGURE 5. NOTE: For lighted version of Step board, remove plastic cover from each end of under side of Step board. WARNING: INSTALLING LIGHT HARNESS REQUIRES SPLICING INTO VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WESTIN REC- OMMENDS USING A PROFESSIONAL FOR THIS INSTALLATION. NOTE: AVOID AREAS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT, VIBRA- TION, PINCH OR ROTATION WHEN SECURING HARNESS TO VEHICLE. CAUTION: ALWAYS USE A FUSED(+) POSI- TIVE SUPPLY SOURCE. UNDERCOAT SEAL FOR HARSH WEATHER. HINT: Step boards: For Longevity, check rubber seals before installation. Rubber grommets around red and blue wires going into rear sockets, should be inserted and recessed about 1/4. NOTE: Remove bulbs and apply white grease into sockets and replace bulbs. Apply RTV Silicone where lights go into socket. Install lights and run wire loom as shown. SEE FIGURE 3. For Sure-Grip Running Boards, run wire loom down center as shown. SEE FIGURE Determine whether your vehicle has a positive or negative switching courtesy system or an auxiliary light source (most Fords). Obtain an accurate wiring diagram for your vehicle s courtesy light system. For positive and negative switching: Locate a pass-through point (usually under carpet at driver side door sill) for the wire harness. Locate main courtesy wire (usually wire lead to dome light). NOTE: If you do not use the main courtesy wire, lights will only function when one door is open. Route wire harness so that the 2 female connections (from step board) are nearest to pass thru point. *Connect opposite step board lead to either connection. Connect the splicing lead to remaining female socket and route one wire thru pass thru point. SEE FIGURE 6. VERY IMPORTANT - Double check that your system has positive or negative switching. For positive switching only: Connect positive wire to main courtesy system, (usually wire lead to dome light). TEST CONTINUITY BEFORE CONNECTING BY OPENING AND CLOSING ALL DOORS. Ground remaining wire. For negative switching only: Connect negative wire to main courtesy system, (usually wire lead to dome light but sometimes from dome light to courtesy ECU). TEST GROUND CONTINUITY BEFORE CONNECTING BY OPENING AND CLOSING ALL DOORS. Connect remaining wire to battery using a 5A fuse. **Be sure that you have not routed any wires near moving parts (i.e.. driveshaft) or near any heat generating source (i.e.. transmission, engine, exhaust). Auxiliary Light source: Locate auxiliary light source connection under vehicle, usually attached to back side of front or rear fender well (refer to vehicles owners manual). SEE FIGURE 6. TEST SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING. Connect splicing leads to aux light source. test step board lights for proper function by opening and closing doors. 7. Under-coat board, brackets and electrical wires, connections and lenses for harsh weather conditions. Reinstall plastic cover on underside of Step. 8. Proceed to re-install D.E.F tank on diesel models. 2

5 DEF TANK REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIESEL MODELS ONLY Remove the three bolts that hold the plastic cover by using a ratchet with 13mm socket Remove the plastic cover by pulling it toward the side of the truck. Use a set of pliers to loosen the hose clamp that is under the tank near the front of the truck. That holds the hose. Carefully remove the filler hose. Using a ratchet with a long extension and a 13mm socket, loosen and remove the bolts of the tank support straps. (Depending on model, bolts used may be 13mm head socket or Torx bit T-40) Carefully bring the tank down trying not to tilt or twist the tank to avoid damage to connectors. Note: Trimming might be required on the plastic cover, at the bracket location. Carefully un-hook the straps from the straps supports. P.N.: RevD ECO #: W DATE: 3/7/17
